Degree Wellness, the brainchild of tech guru Amanda Watts
Lightcap and her husband Tom Lightcap, a hedge fund manager, was
created to provide the premier self-care experience. Prior to
Degree Wellness, Amanda launched two tech startups specializing in
retail, technology, and consumer goods. With the backing of
Franworth, the expert in sustainable franchise growth, Degree
Wellness offers innovative wellness solutions that have created the
premier boutique wellness experience using heat, cold, light, and
advanced nutrients. Our mission is to help communities everyone
live happier, healthier lives.
Amanda's personal journey with Thyroid Cancer in early 2021 brought
her closer to the benefits of Degree Wellness services. Using
cryotherapy to manage brain fog and stress, sauna for improved
sleep, red light therapy to reduce scarring, and IVs to boost
energy, Amanda transformed from feeling her worst to living her
best. This personal experience fuels the brand's commitment to
holistic wellness.
Degree Wellness is actively investing alongside franchisees, having
recently opened its third location, with a fourth under
development. We are committed to further developing markets like
Jacksonville with corporate studios.
Our current services include cryotherapy, infrared sauna, cold
plunge, red light therapy, IV drips and IM injections, compression
massage, oxygen, and non-invasive light facials. Degree Wellness is
dedicated to spreading self-care and wellness through innovative,
technology-driven solutions, supported by a robust infrastructure
and an inspiring brand story. Join us in our mission to help
communities live their healthiest lives!
